Chapter 1 - The Beginning

You know, I never knew that death could be happening in the most absurd way. As for me, I died after I got hit by a truck. Sound cliche, right? It sounds like some Isekai story. Well, let me tell you something. I was on top of a mountain that day.

That day my friend and I decided to set up camp on top of a mountain after a long walk. We are a bushcrafter. We like to camp in the nearby mountain and make ourselves a shelter from the nearby resource. We do this activity at least once every two months.

One day when we had just finished making our shelter, I decided to go to take a leak in the forest, but suddenly a bright light appeared above me. As I looked up, I saw…

"Is that a truck? How can it come from the sky?!?"

And to this day, I still don't know how a truck can appear from the sky.

Anyway! Just like those Isekai stories, I get reincarnated into another world, or I guess you could say that I get transferred to another body in the other world. For some reason, I got reincarnated into the body of a Japanese teenager. In my previous life, my name was Oliver Parker, but after I arrived in this world, my name is Homura Ryobe. Homura is my family name, and Ryobe is my given name if you get confused.

Ryobe is a NEET that even his parents already give up on him. His parents let him live alone in the house his parents bought using their money. He also gets money every month from his parents. Ryobe comes from a rather wealthy family, but he didn't get enough attention because of this. Hence, Ryobe decided to become a NEET when his parents still did not give him enough attention even after trying his hardest.

Ryobe was a smart and diligent student because he wanted to gain his parents' attention. However, even when he tried his hardest, his parents did not give him any attention and even more distance than before. When he becomes a NEET, his parents become disgusted at him instead of investigating what is wrong, so Ryobe loses hope in gaining his parent's attention and becomes a full-time NEET.

This body dies because of choking on an instant noodle. I don't know why, but Ryobe's death did not really surprise me because I died after getting hit by a truck from the sky.

I look at my body and see that this body has a problem with obesity. I think my height is around 168 to 170 cm tall, rather tall for ordinary Japanese people, especially for someone eighteen years old. As for my weight, I guessed around a hundred and twenty to a hundred and sixty Kilograms.

It was average for my face, but because of the fat around my face, the quality is dropped by a significant amount.

As for the world I'm now in; there is nothing out of the ordinary. This is the same world as my previous world. There are a few differences between this world and my previous world, especially in the entertainment world. For example, there is no famous anime from my previous world, like Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece.

Anime in this world is more focused on the School life genre rather than a fantasy setting. I can't say for the Hollywood movie because the previous owner of this body only watches anime or H*ntai as his entertainment.

The same for Manga in this world.

I also didn't know if this world has a supernatural world behind all the mundane worlds that I don't know, but to be honest, I don't really care. I only want to live a peaceful life. I have money from my parents every month. I have a monthly allowance of 120.000 JPY or around 1.100 USD.

I currently live in the house my parents bought for me, so I don't need to pay anything in housing terms. The only thing I need to pay attention to is my food expenses. Ryobe usually spends around 70.000 yen on his food and uses the rest of his money for either a game or anime.

A thousand dollar spending, and he mostly spends his money on food because he still cannot forget the taste of rich people's food.

I can reduce my spending on food by half and save the rest of the money in case my parent decides that I'm not good enough for their support anymore.

I also need to search for a side job and also prepare for the high school final exam. There is also this thing.

*DING*

~Name: Homura Ryobe~

~Job: None~

~Level: 1 (0/10000)

~HP: 50/50~

~MP: 500/500~

~STR: 4~

~VIT: 5~

~INT: 50~

~LCK: 10~

Yeah, after I get transported to this world, I get myself a system.

"Can you tell me what those are? To make sure."

*DING*

~STR is your physical statistic. It shows how strong and fast you can be. Average adult human have STR of 10~

~VIT is your health and durability statistic. It shows how durable you are. Average adult humans have a VIT of 10. One VIT is equal to ten HP.~

~INT is your intelligent and magic statistic. It shows how smart you are. Average adult humans have an INT of 10. For humans that have magic inside their bodies, INT can also indicate how powerful your magic is. One INT is equal to ten MP~.

~LCK is your luck~

By looking at my status, I know that I'm garbage in terms of physical ability. However, in terms of magic, I'm a decent magician.

There is also a skill section.

~Gamers Mind (Passive) (Level Max): Allow you to be calm in all situation, even in the direst situation, and gain immunity to mind-altering effect~

~Gamers Body (Passive) (Level Max): Sleeping in a bed restores HP, MP and removes all Status Effects. Please note, you still feel pain, bleed, and can be disarmed, but your arms will grow back or re-attach if you manage to pick it up and place it back on the wound when you regenerate hp.~

~Observe (Active/Passive) (Level Max): Let you see your enemy's level and status or status of an item.~

~Inventory (Active) (Level Max): A pocket dimension that can store any non-living being inside. It can contain an infinite amount of items inside.~

~Create/Destroy ID (Active): Allow you to create a realistic illusion dungeon. This is the only place where you can increase your level. It can only be used once every 24 hours. You can only use the dungeon for two days (Dungeon Time). The time outside the dungeon will be stopped. If you die in the dungeon you will be kicked out of the dungeon and receive a penalty. Penalty: Cannot use this skill for another 24 hours.~

*Zombie (Lvl 1 Dungeon)*

The starting skill is something I'm grateful for. After seeing the skill now, I know the reason why I'm so calm in this situation.

"Menu"

After I say that, a blue window appears in front of me.

~Status~

~Skill~

~Shop~

~Quest~

Other than my status and skill, there is also a shop and quest option on the menu. As I press the shop option, another window appears showing many kinds of items, but there is no skill. There is a weapon, armor, and consumption. Lastly, there is a gacha option in the last option in the shop, and as I open up the gacha shop, I see that it is filled with many kinds of things and a skill scroll.

After seeing all kinds of items inside the shop, I close the shop menu and go to the quest menu. There is only one quest inside the quest menu.

*Quest: The Beginning*

*See all the menus available to you. (complete)*

Seeing that the quest has been completed, I press it, and suddenly another window pops up in front of me. I look at the reward given to me by the system.

*Gacha Token(3)*

*Token needed for Gacha spin*

Gacha, huh? I don't have a good experience with Gacha, be it in this world or my previous world. While I'm not as crazy as the previous Ryobe in spending all his money on games, I still spend some money on gacha based games.

I press the shop menu and then press the gacha option before pressing the spin button.

After a few seconds of waiting and it stops at the skill scroll.

*DING*

*Congratulation*

*Blessed Weaponry skill scroll*

I take out the scroll from my inventory, and suddenly another window pops up.

*DING*

*Do you want to use the scroll?*

*Yes/No*

I pressed the yes, and suddenly my head filled with the knowledge of how to bless a weapon with various effects.

~Blessed Weaponry (Active) (Level 1: 0/1000): User can create or wield weapons with power over blessings, which grants the user a wide variety of blessing-based abilities. This ability is not only specific to mystic weapons but also technologically advanced weapons. The power of the weapons depends on what they were created for or what level of this skill.~

If the information I get from this skill is correct, I can create a Sacred Gear if it reaches level 100, but right now, I can only create a low level holy or elemental weapon. I also only can create one elemental weapon at the moment, which is a Fire-type weapon. I can give the weapon blessing to cause burn damage.

I guess it was a good skill for a beginner. While I want a long-range type of skill, I can still use this to increase my attack power.

After done inspecting the skill, I press the spin button once again.

*Spin* *Spin* *Spin*

The wheel continues to spin before suddenly it stops at a picture of a knife.

*DING*

*Congratulation*

*Hunting Knife*

*A knife used for hunting purposes. It can also be used to defend yourself.*

*Damage: 10+(100% of STR)*

14 damage per hit, huh? Is it much? If the knife hits me, I will be dead by the fifth swing but for the Instant Dungeon? I don't know.

Anyway, I press the spin button once again, and it stops at a picture of a crossbow with some crossbow bolt to the side.

*Compound Crossbow*

*Modern Crossbow used for hunting animal*

*Damage: 20+(100% of Bolts damage)*

*Crossbow Bolts*

*An ordinary Crossbow bolts*

*Damage: 20*

I nod at the description. This crossbow is more powerful than the hunting knife, but sadly it needs ammo, unlike my knife. My crossbow bolts are also limited to seven bolts for now, but I guess that is enough for now. There is also a quiver for the bolts where I can strap it on around my waist.

While I want to have more powerful items or skills from this gacha, I'm not upset. All the items the gacha gives me are useful for a beginner.

I guess it is time to try my skill.
